WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.199 KFI A six. It's later with Mo Kelly. We're live 2 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:31.559 everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and I'm told I'm told 3 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.119 that Stephan has done his latest homework assignment. Not too 4 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.880 long ago, we had a conversation with Gary Hoffman talking 5 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:44.119 about the TV show Adolescens on Netflix. I loved it, 6 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.119 and I loved it because Gary Hoffman told me about it, 7 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.640 watched it. It was everything he said it was and more. 8 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.799 And Stephan, unbeknownst to me, actually started watching it and 9 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.039 he gave me just a little bit of his review. 10 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.479 We'll get to that a little bit later on this 11 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:05.840 going on right now. Oh, and some show programming notes. Tomorrow, 12 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.000 I'll be joined on the show by David Ayr, who 13 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.239 is the director of A working Man, which is Jason 14 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.799 Statham's latest movie. He's also the director of The bee 15 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.200 Keeper with Jason Statham. He's also the director of Suicide 16 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.239 Squad and so much more. But we're gonna be talking 17 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.719 about A working Man, which hits theaters late tomorrow, you know, 18 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.400 they do the late Thursday night showing and then officially 19 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.400 in theaters on Friday and on Monday, the thirty first. 20 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:41.159 I'll be joined by Bosh Harry Bosh, Titus Welliver. Yeah, 21 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.319 it's the coolest three hours in all Talk radio. Baby. Yeah, 22 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.920 that's what I try to tell you. So Titus Welliver 23 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.439 is going to join us on Monday, talking of course 24 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:54.200 about Bosh Legacy Season three, which is thought to be 25 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.319 the final season. No official announcement, of course, I'll ask 26 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.560 him see what we can find out, big, big show tonight. Though, 27 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.719 before we get to all of that, in the coming days, 28 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.680 we have some Dodger updates. The Dodgers are going to 29 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.520 be visiting the White House next month on April seventh, 30 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.879 and there's this new Dodger's Panda Express promotion, which I'm 31 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.280 so giddy about. I think I'm going to sign up 32 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.639 for it right now. It is so cool and I 33 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.039 love me some Panda Express. And we have a Waymo update. 34 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.759 Weymo was expanding, so that means Twalla Sharp is going 35 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.360 to make even more money from Waimo. I guess he 36 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.400 probably got a raise and a bonus for all the 37 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.080 good words that he's been putting in for Weymo. He'll 38 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.840 deny it, but we know better. And remember how I 39 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.039 tell you how there's no cancel culture. Well tonight is 40 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:45.800 a no cancel Culture show. In hour two, we'll play 41 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.479 you the RUSS trailer. You know Alec Baldwin, that movie 42 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:55.759 which unfortunately led to the death of Helena Hutchins. Well, 43 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.680 we're going to play that trailer tonight. Obviously, Alec Baldwin 44 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.280 still has a career, so he's doing okay all things considered, 45 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.479 not even talking about his reality TV show Mel Gibson. 46 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.520 He there was an announcement that he's going to begin 47 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.000 shooting The Resurrection of Christ, obviously the sequel to the 48 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.199 Passion of the Christ, and he's going to start filming 49 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.840 that this summer from what I'm told, so we can 50 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.080 pick it up there. We have the viral load with 51 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:29.199 Tiffany Hobbs and get this. If you attended USC and 52 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.599 I didn't attend USC, I did some like postgraduate film 53 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.400 work there. If you were to attend USC, would you 54 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:43.280 be okay with the idea of Snoop Dogg speaking at commencement? 55 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.199 I don't know. I don't know. Snoop Dogg is a 56 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.520 very funny individual. I think he is a fantastic story 57 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.800 the totality of his life and career, But I don't know. 58 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.360 Assuming you know you're paying one hundred thousand dollars year 59 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.719 to go to USC. If Snoop Dogg came up there 60 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.199 as the keynote speaker for your graduation, I don't know 61 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.039 how well that's gonna go over. Well, we're gonna find 62 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.319 out very soon, as he's up to be the twenty 63 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.159 twenty five. He knows speaker. If I'm not mistaken, we'll 64 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.439 get into that. There is so much going on. Let 65 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.959 me say good evening to the crew. Mark Ronner, how 66 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:20.519 are you doing, sir? 67 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.480 I want Snoop Dogg to hand me my diplizzle diprizzle shizzle. 68 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.199 Yeah, good to see Himo. It's good to see you. 69 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.879 I don't know Snoop met him a few times in 70 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.759 the course of working in the music industry. I think 71 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.959 he is a fantastic rags to riches story. How he's 72 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.079 re reinvented himself over the years, where he went from 73 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:48.839 a rapper to actor to cooking show co host to 74 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.839 just this personality. He's a personality. At this point. People 75 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.199 probably don't even know him for his music. In large part, 76 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.079 they know him for just his TV commentary, his sports 77 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.639 commentary on the Olympics and boxing matches, that kind of thing. 78 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.319 I thought he was kind of known now for being 79 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.199 the elder Statesman of Weed ambassadorship that too. 80 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:10.519 I mean, it's not just one thing when you think 81 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.439 of Snoop Dogg. There are a number of things that 82 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.279 may come to mind if you're familiar with him. People 83 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.680 have different entry points with these individuals. They may have 84 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.519 learned of him through Martha Stewart. They may have learned 85 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.920 of him through his music. They may have learned of 86 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.079 him through his other products that he's endorsed and sold 87 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.680 over the years. It's a pretty amazing dude. He's a 88 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.000 man of many facets. Yes, yes, I just don't know 89 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.240 about commencement speaker. But I mean, you can make the argument, 90 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:37.639 and I'll get into it later. You can make the 91 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:43.680 argument that that story has value for then new graduates. 92 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.240 I get that. I just don't know how good he 93 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:48.720 is as a public speaker. 94 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.920 Well, listen, we had the Speaker of the House, Tom Foley, 95 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.199 and my graduation, and if you could stay awake through that, 96 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.839 I would love to have had somebody from the entertainment 97 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.399 world that you know, everybody. Let's just be straight here. 98 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.399 You show up for your graduation ceremony with a crippling hangover. Okay, 99 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.439 that's the law. It's what everybody does. There's no point 100 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.399 denying it. And so if you have somebody that's even 101 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.319 remotely interesting, that that really makes it more bearable. 102 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.199 I remember ours, well, actually I don't remember. I remember 103 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.600 the name, I remember that he was speaking, I don't 104 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.519 remember anything he said. It was Senator Bill Bradley at 105 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.759 my graduation. Couldn't tell you a thing that he said. 106 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.680 It wasn't memorable in the least, you know, no big deal, 107 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.399 but you know, the people there, we were. We were 108 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.439 happy to be graduating. Some of us were sober, most 109 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.959 of us were not, so it didn't really matter what 110 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.040 he was saying. None of us remember we were day 111 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.519 drinking that much. I do remember. And it wasn't a 112 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.680 good idea because it was in the sun and it 113 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.240 was May. It was hot outside and people were ready 114 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.120 to pass out. But yeah, but you were day drinking 115 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.680 because you love your country. I went to a friend's 116 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.120 graduation from medical school and they had the late actor 117 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.040 Rod Steiger give the commencement speech, and he was just 118 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.839 clearly insane, but it was so entertaining. I'm jealous of 119 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.720 anybody who gets somebody entertaining at a graduation speech Rod 120 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.879 Steiger was he insane or on something I don't know, 121 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.000 six o one and half a dozen of the other 122 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.120 but he was fun. I mean as opposed to just 123 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.920 listening to some gas bags growing on there for a 124 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.439 half hour while you're fighting to keep your eyes open. Oh, 125 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:33.040 I know, mine was boor ring, boor ring. All the platitudes, 126 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.600 all the cliches. I remember some of them, like you 127 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.240 have your whole life in front of you. You're the 128 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.519 leaders of tomorrow. We're turning the world over to you. 129 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.319 Please take care of it. All that kind of stuff. 130 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.399 This is like, yeah, you hear Charlie Brown's teacher. Wah 131 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:45.560 bah blah blah blah. 132 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.680 Think of how lucky people are who get, say, Conan 133 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.560 O'Brien as their commencement speaker. 134 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.959 I'm jealous of all that. Yeah, I don't know. I 135 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.199 don't know. It'd be interesting to find out how people 136 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.040 are responding to it. 137 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:55.199 Now. 138 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.720 I know that Snoop if I'm not mistaken, and correct 139 00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.800 me if I'm wrong to wala. I think Snoop is 140 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.720 made some sizable donations to the university over the years, 141 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.199 in the way that Dre has as well. 142 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.279 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, and I can promise you this Snoop, 143 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:13.879 even off the top, is a great speaker. He is 144 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.240 a great speaker. I have seen some of his speeches 145 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.360 that he's given to his football team and as they're 146 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.839 graduating high school and as they're moving along in his team, 147 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.920 off the top, he knows how to pull from where 148 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.600 he came to inspire you to go further and beyond. 149 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.039 This is going to be a treat for the UCLA students. 150 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.159 Or did Snoop go to college, Not that I know. 151 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:46.840 Of the College of the Hood. He went to Long 152 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.919 Beach poly Though High School, Right, Yeah, he did. He 153 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.840 went and he was there alongside camer Diaz. That's right, 154 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.679 they're the same graduating class. And then he became a 155 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.360 rapper and the rest of his sister all. 156 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.720 Right, that does create a minor degree of cognitive dissonance. 157 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.519 Why is that because he didn't go to college. Yeah, 158 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.480 that's actually kind of common. You will hear a lot 159 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:10.440 of college speakers, commencement speakers who may not have gone 160 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.639 to college or have followed the traditional educational path, but 161 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.480 because their life was so extraordinary, they end up being 162 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.120 commencement speaker. And that's why I think that there's an appeal. 163 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.639 We'll get into it next hour. But there's a lot 164 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.240 to say about Snoop Dogg and being the commencement speaker 165 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.720 for USC but we'll get to that later.

If you 198 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.200 could get a simpandix that, I would love that. So 199 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.879 it's a true story than Stefan. Yeah it is, don't 200 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.759 you know? To keep your hands to yourself and don't 201 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.720 touch other people's food. 202 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:42.039 I would, but when I was cleaning out the freezer, 203 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.480 the box deteriorated. 204 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.759 Wait a minute, since when was cleaning out the freezer 205 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:48.600 your damn job? 206 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.360 When the door couldn't close that well anymore? So I 207 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.159 was like worried that we wouldn't be able to use 208 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:55.600 it anymore. 209 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.440 Oh so you're making executive decisions about who could stay 210 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.600 and who had to go. Pretty much so you ended 211 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.559 up throwing out someone's food which was still gonna be eaten. 212 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.360 I if he ate it, I would love to see 213 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.559 the twenty four hours after. 214 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.279 I know that would not have settled well in his system. 215 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.759 I'm sure you meant well, fush, but you try that 216 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.200 in prison, you're gonna get shanked. 217 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.440 It is not your place, Stephan, to make the decision. 218 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.480 But there's a way for you to make it right. 219 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.919 You can go get his Panda Express and we'll be 220 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:27.559 friends again. 221 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.600 He's not wrong. He's not a bad idea. I mean 222 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.080 I could, I could cover it. I just can't go 223 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.039 physically get it. Goodness, all right, all right, this we'll do. 224 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.120 We'll have Twalla work the board, all right, Marc will 225 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.320 come in and do the show and I'll do the news. 226 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:52.879 And what's not to like? Like, it's like musical chairs switch. Yeah, Adie, 227 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.799 how let me get back to Dodgers baseball, which officially 228 00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:00.000 begins tomorrow. And also the announcement was made a couple 229 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.440 days ago that the Dodgers planned to visit President Donald 230 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.799 Trump at the White House to celebrate their World Series 231 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.919 victory for the twenty twenty four season. They released a 232 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.759 statement and said that it would visit the White House 233 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.879 quote in keeping with long standing baseball tradition clothes quote. 234 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.159 That's interesting because if you know the history back in 235 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.519 twenty twenty, when the Dodgers last one before the twenty 236 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.360 twenty four season, the team waited until the following summer, 237 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.519 I would say, intentionally when Joe Biden was in office, 238 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.559 to make their presidential White House visit. And you may 239 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:40.759 remember the Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, he originally did not 240 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.399 want to visit with President Trump. And this goes back 241 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.279 to my conversations with Jackie Ray and our more general 242 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:53.080 conversations like, yeah, it's perceived as kind of a political event, unfortunately, 243 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.080 and you put these teams in players in positions where 244 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.399 they feel they have to make a decision back in 245 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:02.480 twenty twenty excuse me, actually twenty nineteen when Mookie Betts 246 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.399 before he got to the Dodgers, he was playing with 247 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.559 the Boston Red Sox and they won the World Series 248 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.840 that year. Mookie Bets declined to go to the White House. 249 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.279 I'm not saying that Dave Roberts or Mookie Betts or 250 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.000 any other Dodgers will have any misgivings. I'm saying that 251 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:22.039 it's part of the story because it's complicated like that. 252 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.080 So when you report on the Dodgers going to see 253 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.159 or she should say, going to visit the White House 254 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.960 and see President Trump, then you have to throw in 255 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.919 the context of everything which happened before. I'm quite sure 256 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.360 it will be fine. I'm sure it will be fine, 257 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:42.080 but still there's always this cloud over the whole meeting, 258 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.759 just because of where we are as a country right now. 259 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.840 I don't fault the Dodgers foregoing. I wouldn't fault the 260 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.559 Dodgers if they didn't go. I said it before and 261 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.399 I'll say it again. It may be a tradition, but 262 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.799 I think it's for the best that the tradition is 263 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.559 brought to an end so we don't have all this speculation, 264 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.159 we won't have this discomfort, and hopefully we can just 265 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.000 get back to doing what we usually do. And I 266 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.120 also say the other side of it is when you 267 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.240 have the president going to i'll say wrestling events or 268 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.000 the super Bowl or NASCAR or some other sporting event, 269 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.519 you further cloud the issue. You know, we can't have 270 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.279 it both ways. If we want politics to stay out 271 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.080 of sports and stop forcing sports to then go visit 272 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.080 politicians and the White House. That's the easy way around it. 273 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.559 So that's coming up on April seventh. We'll see if 274 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.919 it's going to be anything to that. You say, well, 275 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.600 why April seventh, Well, they'll be in Washington, d C. 276 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.600 Playing the Washington National So if you were to do it, 277 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.879 that's the best time to do it. And also, if 278 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.919 you've never been to Washington, DC. In April with the 279 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:51.559 cherry blossoms, it's the most beautiful time to visit the city. 280 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.120 If you've never been, I highly recommend that you visit 281 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.279 the nation's capital. Be able to take in the history 282 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.399 of our country, visit the monuments, see what the city 283 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.000 has to offer. And I don't know if Mark, have 284 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.840 you ever been to DC? I have, yes, did you 285 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.399 go college age or just for business? 286 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.879 I went there right after I graduated when I was 287 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.960 being recruited for a job. 288 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.840 Oh that's why I remember the job. You told me 289 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.759 about the job. I remember when I went to Georgetown 290 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.720 and DC. This is in the late eighties, early nineties. 291 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.759 This is pre Internet I had. I would say, the privilege, 292 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.440 not the burden, but the privilege of researching my papers 293 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.039 at the Library of Congress. Oh man, you know you 294 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:42.600 know what I mean. If you have any sense of 295 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:47.279 history or appreciation for history, to walk into the Library 296 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.080 of Congress and do what you need to do, it's 297 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.399 something special. Now, Now, if you've grown up with the Internet, 298 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.720 you may not appreciate having that type of resource. But 299 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.320 when you're in college and there is no such thing 300 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.519 as the Internet, it's the best resource, probably arguably in 301 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:01.960 the world. 302 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.440 I was already jealous of you just wrapping access to 303 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:09.000 the Exorcist steps there. Had a good time. Except when 304 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.799 you say do what you need to do in the 305 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.119 Library of Congress, that sounds like you were scoping out 306 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.799 the men's room. 307 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.720 No no, no, no, no no no. Nothing like that happened. 308 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.519 Nothing like John Wick happened either, Nothing like that. It's 309 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.519 just to have such resources and be in the nation's Capital, 310 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.559 to visit the different monuments which have been there for 311 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.160 hundreds of years, walk those same steps to walk by. Well. Actually, 312 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.200 when I was in school, and you'll be able to 313 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.440 appreciate this mark. When I was in school, obviously, this 314 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.759 is pre nine to eleven. You could get very close 315 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.839 to the White House. Could you could walk in front 316 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.000 of the gates. You can get very close to the gags. 317 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:46.839 Actually you could drive in front of the White House. 318 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.440 You can no longer do that. They push you so 319 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.799 far back. It doesn't have the same type of impact. 320 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.839 This was back in the old days, before you had 321 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.640 to have a full body cavity search just to get 322 00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.640 on an airplane and everything else. 323 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.200 Right, right, it's a different time, different world. But if 324 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:05.599 you ever have a chance to go relating back to 325 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:10.359 the Dodgers, go to the nation's capital and take in 326 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.000 America's history. There's so much to see. Go to obviously 327 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.480 the Library of Congress, go to the monuments down on 328 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.200 the mall, to walk up in the Lincoln Memorial, or 329 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.920 to see the Washington Monument up close. It will change 330 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.160 you in a way. And I let two times ago 331 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:33.319 I finally got to see the King Memorial. It's an 332 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.359 emotional experience. 333 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:35.960 I would say for most people, you would have to 334 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.440 be pretty jaded not to be awestruck by all the 335 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:39.079 stuff there. 336 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.839 And you can't do it all usually in one trip. 337 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.799 You just can't. So that's why I would say, I 338 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.279 try to get back every single year for one reason 339 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.200 or another, so I can take it in a different part 340 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.920 of the city. Sounds like a bro trip. Yeah, I 341 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.759 don't know if I'm inviting you though, I don't know. 342 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:56.680 I don't like you that much. No, no, you will, Okay, 343 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.880 it's Later with Mokelly ca if I am six forty 344 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.799 WeLive everywhere in the eye Heartradio app got some bad 345 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.000 news when we come back. Well it's not necessarily bad news, 346 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.319 but it's some honest news. Our economy is changing, our 347 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:12.519 buyer habits, and our consumerism is changing. We're buying things, 348 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.559 just in a different way. Coles is closing a lot 349 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:20.960 of locations. Walgreens confirmed plans to shut down five hundred stores, 350 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.519 and there's more. We'll tell you about it just a moment. 351 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.799 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 352 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.480 KFI AM six forty. 353 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:34.160 It's closing time for another department store or actually most 354 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:39.000 department stores. And it's not that we're buying less, it's 355 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.720 not that we're spending less money. It's how we're choosing 356 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.359 to spend our money. It's the way that we're willing 357 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.799 to hand over our money. 358 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:49.279 Holes. 359 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.079 I've been there maybe twice in the past ten years, 360 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.160 and I couldn't tell you what I went in there for, 361 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:56.799 and I can't tell you if I even bought anything. 362 00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.839 But this is what I can tell you. Whatever they 363 00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:04.839 are offer at Cole's, I can find online quicker, with 364 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.720 no driving and possibly at a lower price. That's what 365 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.759 all these retailers are dealing with. We talked about Macy's 366 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.799 last week. Now it's time to talk about Coals. Coles 367 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:24.640 is going to be shuttering some twenty four stores on 368 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.119 March twenty ninth, and it's a part of a larger 369 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:32.880 strategy to close most of their quote unquote underperforming stores 370 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.279 as far as California is concerned. They're going to close 371 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:41.640 the Balboa, San Diego store, the Encinnitas, Fremont, Napa, Pleasanton 372 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:46.720 Point West, which is in Sacramento, San Rafael, San Lui, Obispo, 373 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.279 and Westchester all being closed, and then also lists the 374 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.359 other locations around the country which are going to be closed. 375 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.000 And if you were to ask me, and maybe I'm 376 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.720 the wrong person to ask, I assume I could ask Mark, 377 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:02.799 and I could ask Stefan or to Walla, and I'm 378 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.720 not sure they would be able to give a coherent answer. 379 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:08.279 It wouldn't be their fault. But it's about being able 380 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:12.400 to distinguish yourself as a retailer. What is it that 381 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:16.960 Coal sells that you cannot get anywhere else. When someone 382 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.079 says coals to me, and I'm not trying to be dismissive, 383 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.359 well not really, not completely, but when you say coals 384 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.920 to me, I think of bed, bathroom beyond. And they 385 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.119 sell clothes too. That's about They do a little bit 386 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.519 of this, a little bit of that, but nothing that 387 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.799 I can only go to Coals to get, which is 388 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:38.039 a little different than I would say, maybe home Depot. 389 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.000 There are still things that I gotta go to home 390 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.799 Depot to actually get. Or I need cut or I 391 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.599 need a certain type of device, or I need something 392 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.160 for my bathroom, I have to go to home depot, 393 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.160 And I think that's part of the reason why home 394 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.480 Depot is still hanging around. But I can't think of 395 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.519 anything that is out of coals that I couldn't get 396 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:01.319 online and about the same amount of time. 397 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.640 I hate to agree with you, as we all know, 398 00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.880 but my limited exposure to Cole's I've been there a 399 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.559 few times back when I worked at a newspaper in Indiana. 400 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.440 Was it seemed to me, and I could be wrong, 401 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:14.359
